Description
This script step uses an object name to identify an object, so you must assign a unique object name to each object on a layout that you want to go to.
Notes
•If this script step specifies an object on a
tab panel or a
slide panel that is not the front-most panel, the specified object is selected and the panel it is on moves to the front of the
panel control.
•If the script step specifies a field on a
popover, the popover opens.
Example 1
Navigates to a text field named "First Name".
Go to Object [Object Name: "First Name"]
Example 2
Navigates between different tabs of a tab control.
If [Invoices::Status = "Paid"]
Go to Object [Object Name: "Invoice Statement Tab"]
Else If [Invoices::Status = "Unpaid"]
Go to Object [Object Name: "Invoice Payment Tab"]
End If
Example 3
Navigates to either the "Paid" tab or the "Unpaid" tab in a tab control depending on the value of Invoices::Status.
Go to Layout ["Invoice Details"]
Go to Object [Object Name: Invoices::Status]
